Let’s be real, we owe a lot to our moms. They suffer through labor for 36 insane hours just to give birth to us. They nurture us when we’re little. They cheer us on through all our struggles and accomplishments. Then, when we grow up, we either turn into them or marry them.

On May 14th you’ll have the opportunity to honor and say “thanks” to those special moms in your life (and special ladies – not everyone who nurtures has given birth).

Whoever they may be — your mom, your partner, your partner’s mom, your G-ma, a dear friend — take this moment to let them know how much they are valued.

What better gift to give than the gift of time? From now until May 12th get 10% OFF when you purchase a Deep Cleaning for that special mom in your life. Watch her stress drain away as she enjoys a freshly cleaned home, courtesy of our skilled and responsive staff!

Contact our office by May 12th to discuss package options and to make your purchase. You can give us a call 919-682-5326, or shoot us an email info@carpediemcleaning.com!

Inclement Weather Policy

So far our winter has been pretty mild, but in North Carolina, that can change at any moment! Whatever comes, it’s good to be prepared.

Here’s a quick summary of our Inclement Weather Policy:

In the event of inclement weather, our Main Office and Southpoint Office will follow the Durham county schools for closings and delays, and our Cary-Apex office will follow the Wake County school system. School system closures are determined by the safety of bus routes. This provides a good indicator to us for both the safety of our crews coming to work from their own homes, as well as the safety of the routes to our clients’ homes.

Our route schedules will also follow the local schools for whatever county they are in. For example, if Durham schools are open but Orange County schools are closed, the Carpe Diem office in Durham will be open, but we will not be servicing homes in Orange County.

For a complete explanation of our Inclement Weather Policy, you can refer to our blog post.

You can also “Like” our Facebook page where we’ll be posting information about delays and closings.

The Kitchen Oven Is Reliable,
But It’s Made Us Lazy. -Jamie Oliver

Let’s be honest for a moment. Stove cleaning is just one of those household chores that we attempt to avoid as for long as possible. Just the thought of this time consuming domestic punishment will have you adding it to “The List” of things to do when you have free time. Not only is this chore time consuming, but having several layers of baked-on meals, requires you to use elbow grease and patience. Stove cleaning, though tedious, is instrumental to keeping a clean and healthy kitchen. However, there are also a number of dangers involved in the cleaning process.

Cleaning Products

The majority of cleaning products available in your local big box stores contain chemicals that can be harmful if inhaled, ignited, or come into contact with your skin or eyes. Make sure when choosing these products to read the warning labels, and conduct a little research on the active ingredients.

Out of Sight, Out of Mind

Truth is, many of us stove-users aren’t bluntly ignoring the disaster building up in our ovens. It’s a fact that once that oven door closes, we don’t think about it again until its next use. Which is conveniently as we are pushing in a casserole to serve our family for dinner.

It’s not rocket science to imagine what happens to your stove when you continue to cook at high temperatures with left over cheese last month’s burnt lasagna. The food or grease that has collected in your cooker will often stick to the hot plating, grills and metal trays—continuing to burn. You and your family are now dealing with a smoke-filled kitchen. And if the smoke alone isn’t enough of a nuisance, there’s also the lingering smell and soot!

Most phone calls that Fire Departments receive are likely to be kitchen related, as full-blown kitchen fires actually account for more than half of accidental domestic fires, and the majority of those are cooking related.

Is that Smoke for Dinner?

Firefighters and Fires aren’t the only hazards you have with cooking with a dirty stove. Another consequence is that a stove with sticky buildup will take a crucial toll on the quality of the meals you’re preparing.

Imagine an oven that is full of smoldering oil, charred cookie dough, and burnt french fries. Not a pretty sight! Now imagine how all that build-up can ruin the flavor of your signature dish. Instead of the flavors you love, now there’s a nasty, smoky taste. Not only can this ruin your dinner, but ingesting minute soot particles is not great for your health!

A Headache-free Solution

Cleaning your stove regularly is essential to your safety, your health, and the quality of the meals you enjoy. But the process of cleaning your oven can feel so labor intensive and time-consuming that it keeps getting pushed off for another day.

When you’ve got a tough job on your hands, sometimes the best thing to do is to call the professionals. If you’ve been putting up with a dirty oven for way too long—give us a call! We’ve been making ovens sparkle for over 20 years, and our skilled staff will have the toughest ovens clean in no time.
